I suggest starting your own thread so that people can follow your story and respond to you. Its going to be OK! Sounds like you hit a bit of a bump in the road. What you are feeling and how you responded sounds totally normal given the circumstances. Your response could have been much worse, in fact it might have been a good thing to do. You just have to monitor the results and learn for next time. Also your wife sounds totally absorbed in herself at the moment, what you are doing and saying and feeling probably doesn't really register with her. OK start your own thread and then other people will be able to give you advice. You sound like a great guy - you are going to be OK!
